A Domestic Abuse Resource pack has been launched this week for professionals working with affected children and families in Donegal.

The information pack was developed by the Domestic Abuse Working Group of the Safe and Secure Committee of Donegal Children and Young Persons Services Committee (CYPSC).

It has been launched today, during Social Inclusion Week.

Domestic Abuse is a significant problem in Donegal, the COVID 19 pandemic has brought a sharper focus on the magnitude of domestic abuse in our society.  It is vital that victims of Domestic Abuse receive robust, holistic and comprehensive support from Professionals and Practitioners across all sectors. This Resource Pack was developed to support Professional and Practitioners in this work.

At the launch were Dr Marie Hainsworth Donegal Domestic Violence Services, Anne Timony Meehan Coordinator Donegal CYPSC, Inspector Siobhan Mollahan, An Garda Siochána, Donna Mc Gee Multiple Adverse Childhood Experiences (MACE) Project and Mary Herily Donegal Women’s Centre, Photo Clive Wasson

The Resource Pack provides relevant information and a directory of supports for frontline professionals working with families experiencing Domestic Abuse in Donegal. The Resource pack will be available to GPs, Nurses, Gardaí, Social Workers, Citizens Information Services and other public bodies.

Professionals working with children and families need to be able to recognise the signs of Domestic Abuse and this resource pack is to act as a roadmap to clearly signal the Domestic Abuse supports and resources available in County Donegal.

The members of the Domestic Violence Working Group are Dr Marie Hainsworth Donegal Domestic Violence Services, Inspector Siobhan Mollahan An Garda Siochána, Donna Mc Gee Multiple Adverse Childhood Experiences (MACE) Project, Mary Herily Donegal Women’s Centre, Mary Crossan Family Resource Centre Network, Janique Burden Tusla and Anne Timony Meehan Coordinator Donegal CYPSC.
